Cortana Intelligence Suite

To explain Cortana, let’s look at Cortana Business Intelligence from a high level view. Cortana takes real-time data from your ERP system and combines it with unstructured data from the outside world to help your company make more informed decisions. This solution proactively predicts issues or provides guidance to help keep you out of trouble.

For example, think of how Cortana works with Windows 10. The virtual assistant gives you notifications of when you need to leave early for an appointment to make it on time based on all the traffic and weather data that it is captured in the background. Now apply that intelligence to your business, where Cortana has the ability to tell you about a problem in your supply chain, or alert you about the need to increase your inventory of cold drinks because of an upcoming heatwave to ensure that you have the right amount of stock on hand. This predictive nature and intelligence of business applications is the future that we are delivering today with Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Operations.

PowerApps can be used on Android or IOS to use and share custom-built apps with your team and organization.

Custom built apps can be made by you and your team without writing a single line of code. Connect to Microsoft PowerApps, then publish to you organization.
